Bought ca. 1980 from a dealer for my small millwork business. Tags on machine indicate former navy/gov't ownership. Restored and repainted by me early 1990's. 3HP, 550rpm direct drive. Aprox 15-1/2" under guide as fitted with Black Diamond guides. Some evidence these might not be original, but they are fine guides. My shop keeps shrinking, so recently this one was added to the machines on wheels program. Got the pictures while it was all cleaned up and mobile to a moderately low clutter background.
